The scope of the specification extends to all elements of AMI Semiconductor's value chain including sales and marketing, development, manufacturing, purchasing and subcontracting.
The ISO/TS16949 certification further demonstrates AMI Semiconductor's ability to meet the toughest industry quality standards.
It shows automotive customers that AMIS is on the path to deliver semiconductor products at the quality level required by the automotive industry; essentially zero defects.
The standard supports the concurrent driving of development projects through to production and sustained high quality of delivered parts.
"The key quality focus of AMI Semiconductor is to meet our customers' specific requirements.
ISO/TS 16949 ensures we have robust, repeatable and documented methodologies and systems to consistently produce world class products", says Tim Forhan, AMIS vice president of quality.
ISO/TS16949 is an internationally recognised common automotive quality system based on ISO9001:2000, AVSQ (Italian), EAQF (French), QS-9000 (US) and VDA6.1 (German).
It was jointly developed by members of the IATF (International Automotive Task Force) and submitted to the ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) for approval and publication.
"The automotive industry demands the utmost quality and consistency both in terms of finished product and operating procedures", said Anelia Pergoot, AMI Semiconductor's director of quality in Europe.
"ISO/TS16949 certification clearly shows that AMIS can meet these requirements.
The standard also helps to deliver competitive solutions and shorten time-to-market challenges, providing our customers a competitive edge.
These benefits apply not only to our automotive customers but also to those in the telecommunications, aerospace, medical and general industrial markets".
